China’s AI bubble has already burst. Its AI-heavy STAR50 index has fallen 40%, wiping out $480B. Some Chinese AI chip companies have lost half their value. Even after the crash, the index still trades at 100x earnings, down from nearly 250x. In comparison, the Nasdaq 100 trades at around 30x.

National convention, the highest body of the organization, voted that our electoral endorsees should be asked about their position on BDS and should only be endorsed if they support BDS. Raman has moved on this but was not asked and hasnt explicitly affirmed using her seat to support BDS.

A bottom up, local-based non hierarchical small-democratic organization unless a majority of an obscure 25 person national board doesn't like it and throws the decision out

It’s always shocking to me when RCV supporters back top two because it fixes nothing that RCV fixes and creates new problems. No on 3

Leah Elizabeth@uberleah.bsky.social

They’ve been sending these faux progressive texts to my phone about Question 3– I feel like the polling trending ‘yes’ is because they’re marketing it like it’s akin to ranked choice voting and most people can’t tell the difference. Trying to scream ‘no on 3’ from the rooftops & people are confused.

Visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year. “We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.” www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

77 years ago, on the 1st of October 1949, Mao Zedong declared the People's Republic of China in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. The CCP had defeated the conservative Kuomintang, who later retreated from mainland China to Taiwan. #otd #history 🗃️

New in Light and Airwaves:We talk with Mike Macnair, author of Revolutionary Strategy about the impetus for his book, the need for the left to reevaluate the history of the Second International, the pitfalls of the first four Comintern congresses, and confusion around the term "bourgeois democracy."

one reason (of many) i voted for fair share was that money would be used to support public transit to fight climate change. using those funds to subsidize individual, private auto use (and bail out trump) is a betrayal

Tracy O’Connell Novick@tracynovick.bsky.social

I already knew that Gov. Healey's proposal to roll back the gas tax was bad policy, but then I learned she wants to make up the difference with FAIR SHARE money (aka: the millionaires' tax), and NO. That's money for schools and for transportation, not to make up for terrible national foreign policy!

I feel the rest of the world (Americans included) have no idea of how aggressively the US is pushing to make Latin America into a giant colony. Every day we get news about political interference, increase in military presence, absurd trade demands, online propaganda, Venezuela being pillaged, etc

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez was shot by ICE while working as a food delivery driver. They handcuffed him as he was bleeding and didn’t even allow his wife to see him in the hospital. There needs to be an independent investigation of this cruelty. ICE must be abolished.

The man ICE shot in Austin today is named Wilber Rafael Garces Perez. Per his lawyer, she and Perez’s family were run off of hospital property where he’s being treated and won’t even confirm he’s there because he’s “in ICE custody.” Actual criminals.

I have tried to dispel the misunderstanding arising out of the impression that by ‘party’ I meant a ‘League’ that expired eight years ago, or an editorial board that was disbanded twelve years ago. By party, I meant the party in the broad historical sense.

we've reached a new milestone- the U.S. average diesel price has hit $6.301/gal while gasoline is up to $4.355/gal. I expect both of these to jump noticably over the next 48 hours. diesel could hit $6.60/gal in a few days, surpassing the inflation-adjusted peak seen in 2022.

The “official” numbers in the tables reflect Saudi “supply to market”, but Riyadh also noted (see highlight below) that actual production crashed 1,897 kbpd from July to 6,238 kbpd in August as the Houthi maritime ban mucked up reroute Saudi logistics and attacks hit infrastructure.

Marxist Unity Group deliberated & voted on the following statement to demonstrate our commitment to abolition as a central tenet of DSA's program. The working class cannot rule while a large part of it remains policed & caged. While there is a soul in prison, we are not free.
